Sense Sonnet - Tickler

To Kill a Laptop

To Kill a Mockingbird had Dad,
Atticus Finch, raising his kids,
Keeping his cool when they got mad.
But most parents do blow their lids.
Like Tommy Jordan, the peeved pop,
Over his daughter's sassing ways,
Did shoot his teenager's laptop,
Forever in You Tube replays.
Of course there are therapists who
Think Tommy needs to emulate
Atticus more in how to do
Better parent communicate.

To Kill a Laptop now is fame
In the real world parenting game.
